“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    What a sickening take.

    Not only.do they not have to die from Israel bombs

    It’s THEIR LAND. Why are the only options “leave forever, or die?”.

    but don’t have to live under hamas rule

    There wouldn’t be a Hamas if Israel didn’t stop murdering and stealing land they have no right to. Between 2008 and 2020, 5,590 Palestinians have been murdered

    Until Israel has all of the land, this won’t stop. They continue to murder and maim for decades, and when a Hamas retaliation happens, well then “this is war”.

    Let’s be clear about something. This was ‘Christmas come early’ for Israel, as Hamas laid out an attack that gave them a cart blanche to go all out on Palestine, ignoring all wartime rules, as they commit actual genocide, confirmed by Israeli Holocaust scholars: https://www.wrmea.org/israel-palestine/holocaust-scholars-say-israel-is-committing-genocide.html

    The solution should always start with de-escalation. Everyone knows this. Cops are trained to do this. Why is nobody policing Israel? They can’t even commit to saying what is going on in Israel is definitively Genocide.

      It’s funny since you posted all this shit just to agree with me that until Palestine in Gaza ceases to exist thus fighting will continue.

        No one’s agreeing with you. What’s funny is that your reading comprehension sucks.

        Until a murderous genocidal country, supported unconditionally by the most powerful nation in the world, doesn’t stop bombing innocent civilians and murdering children, the civilians can’t survive.

        The solution isn’t for the civilians to leave. It’s for the genocidal Zionist fascists to be tried in criminal court and face up to their crimes, just like any other country in the world would be.
